This racing season, draw inspiration from the European collections and unharness your bronze bombshell or pretty floral femme at the track.

DAZZLING DOLCE & GABBANAThe dames at Dolce & Gabbana were a modern take on classic Italian beauty. With swept up hair and a smidgeon of eyeliner à la Sophia Loren, the complexions celebrated the sun, although thankfully not as much as fashion’s Last Emperor, Valentino Garavani. Skin was fresh, simple and sun-kissed, mascara smudge-proof and black and coffee coloured pencils were used to emphasise big eyes. For a flawless look, take the fast track to summer and apply fake tan to your body a day before the event. Finally, don’t forget to pack a natural lip colour in that striking Cèline envelope clutch of yours.
